afternoon AuctiOneer IIervey sold the old
Grant House property, at public auction.
to Mrs. Altman, formerly of this city, but
now of Wichita, Kansas, for the sum of
So, 30j. The sale is under a decree of
Court, to satisfy claims to q large amount
against the property and Lewis 4 Wood
manSee, its owners. Mrs. Altman held up
wards of $50 600 of these claims Il large
portion Ofthe liens bcing once in the hands
of the ST. ClairSvilc National Bank, John
Bailie, and Others, hut which were pur-
chased by Mrs. Altman. Originally she
was second on the list of creditors, as
scheduled, but by obtaining possession of
the prior claims, SHE secured frat posi-
ton, and owing to the size of her cOnsOl-
idated lien, there was no likelihood OF the
other creditors obtaining anything from
the sale
Some years ago the property was put mp
for sale, and Knocked down to II. X. List
for 81, 200. After the sale Mr.. List found
out what is known is quilting had been
piNtllCG'l ullOn MN, anu uc itluNtu 10 ldhc
the property. Suit was brought in the
Municipal Court, and carried up to the
Supreme Court of the State, the fight end
ing in Mr.. List being released. Nothing
more was done until recently, when the
property was again offered, but after being
bid up to $50, lS5, was withdrawn until
yesterday, when it was again put up and
sold.
1t is not known what Mrs. Altman will
do with the land. 1t is very eligible
building site, fronting 200 feet on Tenth
street, o. feet ON Market street, and 1856
feet on Main street. 1t has lain in its
present condition since March 81, 1877,
the date of the big fire. There is some
talk of forming syndicate to buy the
property from Mrs. Altman and improve
it, hut whether it will materialize or not is
uncertain. The ruins of the big hotel have
long heen an eyesore and it is to he sin
cerely hoped u handsome building of some
sort will soon go up.

DISGRACEFUL.
A DISGUSTING Row IN A BOAT HOUSE, YES
TERDAY.
The Orgies Of the Inmates Interrupted By
the Police, Who Make Six
Arrests.

One of the most disgusting and disgrace
fuI affairs recently occurring in the city
was brought to the ears of the police early
Yesterday evening, and resulted in the ar
rest of six persons, five men and one
woman. who will all be arraigned IN
Police Court this morning. The partlcl-
pants in the affair were George lnglehardt
and his wife Susan, Charles Haymaker,
Golph Smith, Thomas Joice, and lastly
that star bum, Toby c. Vance. lngle-
hardt is a scissors grinder and umbrella
member by occupation, and he and his
wife live in 6xS bOat-house, which is
generally mOored along the beach between
the foot of Ninth street and the suspen-
sion bridge. 1t is the custom of Ingle-
hardt to work the town all day, and in
the evening gather around him a choice
cOterie of buns and run the grOwler
for all it is worth, deiraying the eX-
penses out of the earnings OF the
day. The charms of Mrs. InglehaIdt play
no inconsiderable part in the programme
here but partly indicated, and the result IS
generally such as to DEFY description.
Yesterday evening the crowd above
named gathered in the boat house, the
beer-can made several trips up the bank,
and soon the proceedings were enough to
call blush OF shame to the face of Old
Nick himself. The doors of the shanty
boat had been thrown wide open, and peO-
pie passing over the bridge and the resi-
dents along the east side Of Main street
were given every opportunity to witness
the scene enacted within.
Messengers were sent for the police about
quarter of seven O'Clock, but before the
officers arrived tirst-class fight broke out
in the shanty, caused by the refusal of Mrs.
Inglehardt to longer submit to the out
rageOus demands of the crowd. Her hus-
band undertook to enforce obedience with
hatchet, striking his wife i'll the hip,
where bad cut was inflicted, again on
one hand and third time, with the Hat OF
the hatChet, in the jaw. But for the az
rival OF Officers Dunlap and Shorts the
woman might have been killed.
When the police arrived, and
while the fight was still in
progress, GOlph Smith, who went out to
replenish the growler, put in an appear
ance, and the whole crowd was put under
arrest and locked up at headquarters. The
arrest was witnessed by very large crowd
of people, the bridge and the river bank
being we'll lined. The progress of the Off
GERS to the lookup WAS rather slow, the
men being pretty well soaked, while Mrs.
Ipg!ehardt WIS suffering good deal from
hFfe blows she had received The crowd
will be arraigned this morning, and will
doubtless receive heavy punishment.

A Former Wheeling Musician.


OF Waldemar Malmene, n whilom resi-
dent of Wheeling and musician of much
ability, John S. Van Cleve, the Cincinnati
musical critic, says 4: The programme,
unique in all its numbers, was from the
pen of one author Waldemar Malmene, a
studiOus and earnest musician. These
works revealed the mind of thorough
musician. The compositions for the voice
were more flowing and adapted to express
sion than the purely instrumental works
and many passages occurred which were
natural, emotional and unaaeCtedly beau
titul.
'"The most spirited composition of all
was, the setting for male voices of Freili-
chraths poem. % Heb so lana du HeJen
tdRnSt;;' Others, however, were excellent,
such as The Sunset soprano solo with
violin ObligatO, admirably delivered by
Miss Nina Betscher and Professor Henry
Schradieck, both of the College of Music.
The Refers Song is pleasing melody,
and was sung by Mr.. Tice, who possesses
n baritone voice of rare beauty. The other
performers-Mr. Abdill, tenor; Mr.. Hen.
gelbrok, tenor; Mr. White, hasso; Mrs.
BOex, soprano, and Mr.. BOex, accompa-
nist-acquitted themselves, each and all,
creditably, and the instrumentalists,
MeSSrs. Schradieck, Baetens, and Mat
tinni, are always excellent

EIGHT YEARS.
ELYERCLARK SENTENCED By JUDGE JACOB,
YESTERDAY,
For the Killing Of William O'Nsal, OIL
March 25th Last, at Elm
Grove.

Shortly after two o'clock yesterday after
noon Elmer Clark, convicted OF murder in
the second degree at the present term OF
court, for the killing of William O'Neal,
on the 18th of last March, was brought
before Judge Jacob, in the custody of
Sheriff Hsndlan, to receive sentence
There had been motion made for new
trial by the counsel for the defense, but it
was deemed best not to push it, and allow
the Court to formally override 1t. This
was done. In the course Of his address, pre-
liminary to passing sentence, Judge Jacob
reviewed the evidence very fully, his re-
marks being listened to with close atten-
ton by large number Of spectators The
Court thought that while the last two
shots fired by Clark showed malicious
disposition on the part of the prisoner,
there had nevertheless been enough
proyocation in the way of threats to
arouse anger in the breast of
almost any human being. The case
should be viewed as whole, and III doing
so, His Honor thought the jury had not
erred in its verdict, either as regards law
or fact Looking ut the case in one light,
the shooting of a PROSTATE and helpless
man was calculated to inflame the feelings
of the public and induce heavy sentence,
but this must be offset by the fact that the
accused did not seek the combat, and that
threats had been made against both him
L Al.
character had been shown 10 be good.
Taking all these things into considera-
ton, Judge Jacob said he would make the
sentence eight years confinement in the
penitentiary, and remanded the prisoner
to jail pending his removal down the river.
This sentence seemed to be satisfactory to
all parties. The prisoner will, if he is of
good behavior, gain sixteen months good
time, thus reducing his actual time i'll the
penitentiary to six years and eight months.
